Abstract

In order to complete user instructions beyond the scope of services that are provided on the user's own computing device, a framework an interaction framework for executing user instructions with online services is provided. The framework includes an instruction processing agent that interacts with a user agent on a computer user's computing device to execute instructions provided to the user agent. The instruction processing agent maintains a list of domain agents, each domain agent corresponding to a domain. Upon receiving a user instruction (from a user agent), the instruction processing agent identifies a suitable domain and corresponding domain agent for completing the user instruction and provides the instruction to the domain agent. The domain agent identifies an online service suitable for completing the user instruction and interfaces with the online service via a proxy for the online service to carry out the user instruction.
